== Building non-.NET Core packages ==
== Building non-.NET Core packages ==


Keep in mind that building non-.NET Core projects (ie. projects that don't build using the <code>dotnet</code> CLI tool) is not well supported. For those projects, you have to work on a custom derivation or override the <code>buildDotnetModule</code> build steps.
Keep in mind that building projects which don't use the .NET SDK (formerly the .NET Core SDK) and its <code>dotnet</code> CLI tool isn't supported.
For those projects, you'll have to heavily customise the <code>buildDotnetModule</code> build steps, or write a custom derivation.
 
Projects which target .NET Standard or .NET Framework (incl. Mono), but still use the new project structure and SDK, work as expected.
Just remember to add `mono` to `buildInputs` and generate a wrapper script in `postInstall`.
 
== Packaging ASP.NET projects ==
 
Currently building ASP.NET project as Nix package produces a website that does not work correctly out of the box because the executable can not find <code>wwwroot</code>, so all the static assets won't load with 404.
 
<blockquote>
Request finished HTTP/2 GET https://my.app/css/site.css - 404 0
</blockquote>
 
The situation can be fixed by setting <code>WEBROOT</code> environment variable to the package path.
 
An example of systemd + ASP.NET 8 service:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
# myapp package needs to be imported; and added to `environment.systemPackages`
# the variable myapp is used below


== Building ASP.NET packages ==
systemd.services.my-app = {
  enable = true;
  description = "Runs my.app";
  wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
  after = [ "network-online.target" ];
  wants = [ "network-online.target" ];
  serviceConfig = {
    # allow binding to privileged ports - when you want to expose Kestrel directly without reverse proxy
    AmbientCapabilities = "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE";
    User = "myapp"; # must be created using users.users.myapp = { isSystemUser = true; group = "myapp"; };
    Group = "myapp"; # must be created using users.groups.myapp = {};
    Restart = "always";
    ExecStart = "${myapp}/bin/myapp";
    StateDirectory = "myapp";
    StateDirectoryMode = "0750";
    WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/myapp";
    # EnvironmentFile = "/var/lib/myapp/env";
  };
  environment = {
    WEBROOT = "${myapp}/lib/myapp/wwwroot"; # IMPORTANT, required to pick up static assets


Currently building ASP.NET packages produces website that does not work correctly out of the box because the executable can not find ContentRoot and wwwroot, so all the static assets won't load.
    DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT = "Production";
 
    # the following are examples
    ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection = "Host=/var/run/postgresql;Database=myapp";
 
    # Kestrel + HTTPS; must setup https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/ACME

    Kestrel__Endpoints__Https__Certificate__Path = "/var/lib/acme/my.app/cert.pem";
    Kestrel__Endpoints__Https__Certificate__KeyPath = "/var/lib/acme/my.app/key.pem";
 
    Logging__LogLevel__Default = "Information";
    Logging__LogLevel__Microsoft__AspNetCore = "Warning"; # this does not actually work, not sure how to fix

== Unable to find package ==
<blockquote>
error NU1101: Unable to find package runtime.any.System.Collections. No packages exist with this id in source(s): nugetSource
</blockquote>
Unsure what specific situations cause this, probably has something to do with .NET Standard libraries.
The workaround is modifying the bits that generate nuget-deps.nix:
<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">
dotnet restore --packages=packageDir --use-current-runtime ./SomeProject.csproj
nuget-to-nix packageDir >deps.nix
rm -r packageDir
</syntaxhighlight>
The new parameter <code>--use-current-runtime</code> requires .NET SDK 8+. I believe what it does is explicitly adding packages missing in this runtime vs .NET Standard to packageDir.
If this still does not work, it might indicate a good time to update target frameworks and dependencies.
